The Trump administration is preparing the revival of wartime ‘prize courts’ to fast-track the seizure and sale of captured Iranian oil and maritime cargo, media reports say.

These courts, dormant since the Second World War, would allow the U.S. to legally confiscate dozens of Iranian oil tankers currently transiting international waters. “The Justice Department is preparing to activate a long-dormant maritime war court to streamline military capture of Iranian oil tankers as US prizes,” Bloomberg reported Wednesday, citing sources.

The mechanism will accelerate the liquidation of seized Iranian assets by shielding the U.S. from third-party claims, the article suggests. “The unfinalized plans, if adopted, would offer a faster path for federal prosecutors to claim oil and other cargo taken from enemy or neutral vessels as US property,” the news outlet added. “The seized goods would then be sold with proceeds transferred to the treasury.”

Oh I hope the administration does this.
Then rub the IRGC and chinas nose in it.

They don’t realize, because in order to be able to do that, they’d first have to have a love of country, a moral obedience to their oaths of office….

…and a respect for the voters who placed them in that office., for whom they give no thought nor even acknowledge.

Ruh Roh.
They’re getting closer.

On Monday, the Department of Homeland Security filed a notice of proposed rulemaking announcing its plan to add a $103,265 fee to new H-1B visa filings, which must be paid upfront before the government decides whether to approve a petition. “The proposed fee would be paid at the time of filing and would be imposed in addition to all other applicable fees or payments,” DHS said in a statement. The public will have a 30-day period to submit comments before the proposal can take effect.
